In the afternoon our guest of honour was Doctor Alan G.

FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1967-1968 ll Board and Staff We were sorry to lose the valuable services of Mr. H. R. Davis and Mr. J. M. McDougall from the Board of Governors. Mr. Davis had acted as Honorary-Secretary of the Board for many years and Mr. J. M. McDougall had headed the Building Committee. We shall miss their worthy contributions very greatly and would like to record our gratitude to them for all the extra efforts they have made on the school's behalf. To replace them we are happy to welcome Mrs. Harvey Wolford and Mr. Lorne Webster and look forward to a long and happy association with them in the direction of the school. As staff replacements in September we welcomed Mrs. Lorna Grundy, who is a graduate of Havergal College and the Lakeshore Teachers' College, Toronto, Dr. Ferenc Andai, who holds a doctorate in History from the University of Budapest, Mr. Neufville Shaw, who was head of the Science Department at Pierrefonds, Mr. Larry Eldridge, a graduate of Bishop's University and specialist in physical education, Mr. Barry Stevens, who had been teaching in Connaught School for the past three years and Mr. Jeremy Riley, an Old Boy of Selwyn House and a graduate of Sir George Williams University. We have been very grateful to them all for their outstanding services to the school throughout this year and regret that Dr. Andai will not be with us in September. ln addition to his schoolroom duties he has been most active in fostering a History Club which has been a most successful addition to our school activities. Also leaving at this time is Mr. Hugh Spencer who has been teaching in the Middle School for the past three years. We are most grateful to both these gentlemen for all they have done at Selwyn House and extend to them our very best wishes for every success and happiness in the future.
